e TROOPS ARE CALLED OUT TO QUELL RIOTING VETERANS (Continued Prom First Page.) announced that he would stand pat for the present with every avail- able policeman on hand. Mitchell Orders Evacuation. Meanwhile, Attorney General Mitchell announced a sweeping or- der for evacuation of the veterans from every piece of Federal prop- erty. The statement issued by the Attorney General said there has been no request‘to the Attorney General for any opinion on the law relating to the eviction of the so-called “bonus army” from Gov- érnment property. The matter reached the Department of Justice through a request by the Treasury Deartment that the necessary steps be taken to restore to the Treasury possession of the property on which public works are about to commence. “The Department of Justice is engaged in co-ordinating the work of District and Federal officials. The departmert is directing its attention not only to the summary eviction of trespassers on Gov- ernment property, but to the enforcement of all criminal laws and ordinances of the District, many violations of which by members of the ‘bonus army’ are occurring. “During the time that Congress was in session and the members of the ‘bonus army’ were justifying their presence on the ground that they desired to petition Congress for redress of alleged griev- ances, there was a natural disposition to show extreme consideration to these men. That time has gone by. Congress has adjourned, and there is no longer any excuse or justification for the assemblage In Washington of these men. They are trespassers on Government property, much of which is immediately needed for erection of public Improvements. Charges Law Violations. “Many of them are violating the laws of the District by holding unlawful assemblies in the street, obsiructing traffic, disorderly con- duct, begging and other acts. Their refusal to leave Government property and resisting removal is an offense against the law, punish- able by fine and imprisonment. “It is high time this conduct should end. There is no reason why these men should not obey the laws of the District just as every resident of the District is expected to do. In removing them from Government property entirely lawful methods are available. Under the law it is not necessary to resort to the court for ejectment de- crees, Methods are legally prescribed for the summary rengoval and the necessary steps will be taken accordingly. “In addition to the steps looking toward their eviction because of their trespassing on Government property, steps are being taken to co-ordinate the work of arrest and prosecution for any and all viola- tions of the law. “Arrest will be made for all violations, and arrangements have been made for co-operation between the district attorney’s office and prosecuting attorneys in the office of the corporation counsel to ex- pedite these cases, present them to the courts, and to urge substan- tial sentences and to arrange proper prison accommodation in the District Jail, the Occoquan Workhouse, and the prison at Lorton for any number of persons who may be convicted. “No one has any disposition to be unduly harsh in these matters, but it is hoped that these men and their leaders will realize that the illegal possession of Government property and other unlawful conduct cannot be longer tolerated and that they will yield to the inevitable and obey the law.” The Attorney General said that Dis- E. F, said he had no contro! over them trict police have ample opportunity to arrest the bonus marchers for any of the offenses he enumerated. He added that they had been instructed to do so and that the United States marshal's office would co-operate with the District police. The fighting started a half hour after Treasury agents, guarded by po- licemen, began to evict a hundred oc- cupants of a building which the Gov- ernment wishes to demolish to carry forward the Pederal building program. A number of the occupants had been led out and two who balked carried | out to the street when a truckload of | veterans from Camp Marks, across the | Anacostia River, the main camp of the us army, arrived. nstantly brickbats began to fly through the air and the small force of policemen surrounding the building re- treated, wielding their nightsticks. In the melee Gen. Glassford's badge was | torn off, but he continued to run among the veterans, urging them to listen to their leaders. Several offi- cers pulled their revolvers, but no shots were fired. | A hurry call was sent for more police | and the situation was soon under con- | trol as the patrol wagons poured into the area with reinforcements. At 3 o'clock the area was still filled | with some 5,000 veterans who had gone without food since morning. They showed no disposition to leave and Wal- ter W. Waters, commander of the B.

BLAIR. Executor A young Washington woman made s and doubted if the police could con- trol them. Waters blamed radicals for the fighting. In the midst of the melee fighting broke out among the veterans them- selves and one was taken to the hos- pital with a knife blade broken off in his back. Commissioner Reichelderfer visited | the scene with Gen. Glassford at 3 o'clock. He said that for the present the police alone would be relied on to take care of the situation. Soon after the encounter the guard about the White House was increased and preparations made to close the gates if necessary. The President was in the rear grounds of the mansion presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to John Polando and Russell Boardman, who flew to Turkey, when the ambulances from Emergency Hos- pital, sirens screeching, bore the in- jured policemen to Emergency Hospi- tal nearby. Gen. Glassford announced later in the afternoon that efforts to evict the veterans from the buildings would be discontinued temporarily. The Treasury move to repossess the buildings followed legal conferences and negotiations with the District authori- ties which have been in effect for. the past 10 days. Yesterday the White House decided to ask the Attorney Gen- eral for an opinion as to the status of the occupants of the buildings. At 10 o'clock Treasury agents, guarded by District police, went to the scene and nctified the veterans that they must move. The men held a hurried meeting and voted to remain. Then the agents began to lead them out. Gen. Glassford this afternoon was considering calling for military aid to help all available policemen who were temporarily holding in check 5,000 marchers at Third and Pennsylvania avenue. Four policemen and a dozen veterans were hurt. A colored police- men is in a serious condition with a fractured skull. Another may have skull fracture. Gen. Glassford went to the District Building shortly after 1 o'tlock to con- fer with the Commissioners on asking for military aid. Asked if he had requested the Com- missioners to summon assistance for him, he replied: “Not at this time.” He was asked if his policemen could cope with the situation, and replied. “I think we can handle them with the police we have there now, but I do notb want to go against that seething mob.” Glassford engaged in hand-to-hand | conflict himself and has his badge torn from his chest, but was otherwise unin- jured. His assailant was arrested. He stopped the rioting with the sim- ple appeal of “Come on, boys, let's call an armis- tice, for lunch, anyhow.” Bonus Expeditionary Force Comdr. Walter W. Waters, after the rioting, told Gen. Glassford that he had no more man | control over his men and that he did 1 8:15 X ?"uff'sfi'p’n o ‘%r-rhm&s s:‘?."& Eve ne | DOt believe he could hold them in check PURE. 90c DELIVERED | 3 Sugar WANTED—LO/DS TO NEW YORK TO PHILADELPHIA FROM ATLANTIC CITY. ... d all eoints North and West AUG AUG.

The officer with the fractured skull is Edward G. Scott, 27, 2913 Seventn street. An operation was to be per. formed on him in Emergency Hospital this afternocn. He was struck on the head and in the stomach with a brick. Robert N. Floyd, 38, of 907 Crittenden street, also may have & fractured skull. ‘The other injured policemen are Samuel H -Hartung, 29, 2525 Minne- sota avenue southeast, struck on head, and John E. Winters, 24, of the South Maryland Courts Apartments, struck on head. All are at Emergency Hospital. Bernard McCoy, 36, of Chicago, said to have been the veteran who snatched Gen. Glassford's badge, was booked at the first precinct for investigation. The same technical charge was placed against John J. Olson, 44, of Sacra- mento, Calif.; John Culshaw, 33, of Dugquesne, Pa.. and Charles P. Ruber. 38, of the 1700 block of Fourteenth street southeast. McCoy and Olson were bleeding when brought in.

After the fighting had subsided Comdr. W. W. Waters blamed the riot- #c on the radical group led by John e. The angry mob continued milling around the marked-off area about the buflding from which the Texas unit | had been evicted and wherever Comdr. ‘Waters appeared three or four hun- | dred of more loyal followers trailed behind. A solid mass of about 2,000 veterans, composed mostly of those who came over from Anacostia, was formed on Missouri avenue in company formation to act if any trouble occurred. They did not enter the fray, however. About an hour after the riot two veterans got into a private altercation, and one of them wielding a knife broke the blade off into another. The injured man was taken to Emergency Hospital. Supported by the opinion from the | Attorney General, the police and Treasury officials descended on the group at Third street and Pennsyl-, vania avenue at 10 o'clock and evicted 100 of the veterans. The occupants of the building had withstood eviction for 10 days while the question-of authority to put them out has been discussed by Government and District officials. A veteran, Ralph McCabe, from Cleveland, resisted and was arrested. | cne of the partly demolished buildings.

The eviction, carefully worked out by Treasury men with the aid of Police Chief Pelham D. Glassford, was more | or less of a good-natured affair, with raillery going on between the six Treas- ury men and their 12 police bodyguards, Gen. Glassford and Bonus March Comdr. Walter W. Waters, all of whom witnessed the evacuation. The streets around the building, which is in the middle of the 300 block of Pennsylvania avenue, swarmed with thousands of spectators and about 1,500 of the bonus marchers who are occupy- ing billets in other portions of the block. Although warned to get out at 10 o'clock, the men had decided at a meeting previously they would not move and announced the police, or whoever was going to evict them, could “come and get them.” The 100 men comprising the Texas delegation, which has been occupying the three-floor, partly demolished build- ing, gathered in the building and waited to be carried out. Meanwhile, about 100 police had been brought to the scene by Gen. Glassford, a rope was stretched around the building, all spec- tators and bonus marchers cleared away and the men were ordered out. They refused to come, so a squad of six ‘Treasury agents, each agent with a guard of two policemen, accompanied by | Assistant District Attorney John Fihelly and Gen. Glassford, entered the build- 2. One of the Treasury men announced that he had come to take charge of the | building and turn it over to Rhine & | Co., which has the contract to raze it. About a dozen men on the ground floor were led out peaceably, one by one, by | Treasury agents, flanked by their police | | guards. The third man to go out was Jerry Wilfred, commander of the -6th Regi- | ment, Bonus Army, in charge of the | entire Pennsylvania avenue camp. He | went along peaceably amid the cheers of the 1,500 watching veterans, and took a seat on a rock pile nearby to watch the eviction go on. Among those on the ground floor was the only woman in the building, Mrs, Mary Brown of Los Ana, Calif, who went smilingly out on the arm of a Treasury agent. The ground floor cleared. the Treasury agents went to the second floor, where they encountered their first opposition. A colored veteran, who refused to give his name, was lying on the floor and refused to g2t up when a Treasury man took him by the arm. Two agents started to drag him out. and he re- sisted. Fihelly immediately ordered the man’s arrest, and, fighting wildly with three policemen. he was carred down & long flight of stairs and out to a waiting patrol wagon. In the excitement Francis Hoffman, a_photographer for the Washington Times, suffered & heat stroke, and was rushed off to Emergency Hospital, Find Basket of Bricks. As they arrived on the second land- ing of the partly demolished building, police removed from the foot of onme of the twoscore beds In the place a large basketful of brickbats, covered over with paper. And so, for more than an hour, one by one the veterans were led out by ‘Treasury officials, some carrying boxes, others pails, others nondescript bundles of personal belongings, all greeted with cheers from the watching veterans. The opinion of Attorney ( Mitchell, tendered to the né,s.‘,’é“ge‘-l partment, approves in effect the posi- tion taken by Assistant Corporation Counsel Vernon West concerning the rights of the Government. Under the law. according to this interpretation, the owner of either Federal or pri- vate property has a right to re such p{:p’elny lndhp:;son: who fail to evacual are CH in “m‘rmr. s pi the position on the part of such tre - ers to move on official and rorme:f‘;:- mand to move constitutes a criminal offense, it was explained, and the tres- passer in such a position is subject to arrest.

Below: theater in the middle of the block. Shortly after 9 o'clock a bugle called the veterans to assembly, and Comdr. Waters took the rostrum and made an | impassioned plea for the veterans to gradually evacuate the area and con- centrate at Camp Bartlett. The group was sullen and frequently heckled Waters with such crles as “What doyou_think we are—children?” | “Give us our s.” “Let 'em come and | take us a ‘We'll fight the whole | damn works,” and so forth. ‘Waters denied that he was bncklng‘ down or surrendering in any way to| either the United States Government or the local authorities. 3 «If any of you are of the opinion that you can’t be put out of the District, you're kidding yourself,” he declared. “It's all right to holler what yowll do and what you won't do. I haven't any | power or desire to force you to do any- thing. I've defied every constituted au- | thority for you men. I've found you can get away with defying police and city authorities. Glassford and his po- licemen are pretty good fellows, but when you start defying the Federal au- thorities, which don't take any con- sideration of the human element, you're | going to get licked. We can't lick the United States Government. We can't | physically fight the Government. If you stay here you're going to get mar- tial law, and be chased out of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and if you don't| think so you're crazy. | “There's always such a thing as out- witting the Government, but when United States troops are cailed to escort me out, I'm going out, but I'm coming back, too. I'm going to be the first man they place under arrest, when martial law’s declared, and I'll be tried by a | court-martial.” Waters then pleaded with his men | to gather all in one place at Camp Bart- | lett, where permanent billets could be | built and the men entrench themselves for a long hard siege. He declared: | “They scattered us all over the| damned District on purpose, knowing | we cculd do better if we were all to- | gether. When you refuse to co-operate | with your leaders, you're playing right | into the hands of the opposition.” He sald he had the money to build semi-permanent shelters for at least | 200 men immediately at Camp Bartlett. | He said the money comes from Wash- ington woman who “has plenty.” He| then read the message sent him by Gen. Glassford, bearing the order of the Treasury Department that the first building scheduled to be razed be evacuated, beginning at 10 o'clock. Closing his speech, he asked the men, | “Will you move, or won’t you?" A loud chorus of “Noes” went up,| and while another veteran, H. Koel, | | was exhorting the veterans to heed the | advice of their commander, the shout- ing assembly broke up and scattered over the camp, mingling with the ap- proximately 50 policemen who had just arrived on the scene. Meanwhile, John H. Bartlett, former Assistant Postmaster General, owner oi the tract occupied by Camp Bartlett, sent the following letter to Gen. Glass- ford: “Dear Supt. Glassford: { “I do not wish my co-operation with | you to be misunderstood. 1 permitted the ex-service men to occupy my 30- scre estate solely at your written re- quest in order to help out in a critical situation. I assumed then, and I as-| sume now, that what you do is agree- able to the Government and to the| District. I will not sell, lease or permit | to occupy, unless it is to help the Government, the District and your or- ganization to work out g peaceable solution of what may ke serious.
